This game *is* war (simulation!). It's a more realistic approach to that kind of thing than BF or CoD, Brothers In Arms, etcetc, which makes it a hard game, admittedly. F&!kin' A mission design, day-night cycle, huge maps (entire islands),..
You should try BF2 multiplayer Sam. Operation Flashpoint does have a realistic approach, but there are a ton of scripted events, the A.I. isn't exceptional, and the vehicle control is simplified. So, in terms of setting and style Op Flash really nails it, but in terms of the realism of combat...A.I. and scripted events just can't really compete with 32 or 64 real players. BF2 is completely unscripted and the A.I. is replaced by actual human brains, plus it has the huge, well designed maps and great vehicle control covered. Try it. I think you'll really like it.
